Re: Power Mode Selection

dannmarr - I have a 4.44 in my car also, and I felt the opposite of what you said happened with yours. the 4.44 improved acceleration, and that general power feeling using the butt dyno. What torq converter and TCU did you use when you did the swap?

Remember the stock trans was a 3.54 and you put a 4.44 in, so you went from a top end transmission to an acceleration transmission. I think what you are noticing is the difference in where the power gets used on the EG33 engine. I makes its peak power from 3500-5000 and seems a bit flat between 1500-2500 (At least my 92 does, always had even with teh 3.54 in it)

Sorry if this **** dont make sense, been up all night.. gotta love insomnia
